Spoleto Festival 2016

Heads up for anyone who loves music, theater, parties, or Charleston… the Spoleto Festival 2016 performance schedule is live and tickets can now be purchased (as of today).

When people ask me when they should visit Charleston I always tell them during Spoleto or Jubilee. Spoleto spans from May 27th to June 12th this year (perfect time of year weather wise) and it’s packed with the best performance schedule I’ve seen them put out yet. So I wanted to give all of you a heads up so you can get your tickets and and make your plans!

Here are the shows that I am not missing this year!

Be My Valetine

Things to wear, things to give for Valentine’s.

off shoulder dress, ysl bag, round bag, dot dress, tiered dress,

pumps, beanie hat, classroom valentine, robot valentine, plaid scarf,

heart pjs, off shoulder dress, champagne gummy bears, kite clutch, collar dress

I think that red off the shoulder dress is bound to be flattering with the neckline paired with the slightly flared skirt. And that red off the shoulder dress on the bottom row is only $25 if you’re digging it!And how about those adorable picture valentines for the kids to take to school?

Life Lately

I guess it’s been awhile since I’ve done a life lately because I’m reaching as far back as Christmas! I’m lame, sorry.

So for Christmas we flew up to Kentucky and Indiana to spend time with my side of the family. Always fun to get up there and see everyone.

I feel like I saw a lot of people in my instagram feed playing the pie face game over the holidays… any of y’all? The kids absolutely love it. Get it.

What I probably love most about being up there with my family is seeing the kids play with their cousins. Wish they could hang all the time. Btw isn’t my niece’s pink bed adorable??

Tradition is Josh and I and my brother and his wife head to French Lick for a night of gambling. The West Baden Hotel was built in 1902 and is truly beautiful. It’s a circular building with a large dome – we actually studied it during one of my courses at Indiana University (way back when).

This blush Rimowa suitcase is one of my most favorite gifts this year – you all might remember I mentioned that it was on my wish list! It’s light as a feather and super durable!

Fringe sweater dress (obsessed, great with black leggings too), pink & red ornament clutch, and black pumps.

Spent a night at the beach with friends – what a view! Wish I could wake up to this every day.

Can any of y’all tell me WHY men must shave a ridiculous mustache when they shave off their beard? I lived with this for about 3 days…

We spent NYE at home with the kids and it was wonderful. I was the only one awake at midnight and I missed the countdown because I had my nose in a book :)

My big pocket sweater dress and Charleston rice beads necklace.

Beautiful sunny King Street here in Charleston!

It’s soup season over here – loving my new Staub cocotte in white!

Bright and pretty in Lilly’s bathroom… Target shower curtain and Dash & Albert stripe rug.

My good friend Liz came to town with her family so naturally I took them to XBB! Favorite. I dream about that spicy tofu with pork bolognese dish.

When your shoes match your bag!! My blue suede pumps are available here!

And I’m finally getting to pull out some of my favorite new scarves! This one is from Mignonne Gavigan. Also, my navy trench is currently on sale, and so is my J. McLaughlin zip tote!

That beach print – I mean! Mind blowing out of my head right now. Could be cool in that print/poster hanger right in the middle. Love that idea – I have one of those for a calendar in my house! And that whale tissue holder would be so cute in a bathroom, child’s room, or a classroom! And that kilim/wooden stool is fun as hell, right? The vintage Peruvian runners – obviously I’m in love with those. And they’re priced really well! Also, those bunny dolls are TOO cute and would be great Valentine’s or Easter gifts.

And speaking of Valentine’s Day – those pocket manfriends… so perfect for your single friends. If they’re particularly saucy get them two ;) I’m kind of obsessed with them.

Most Liked Instagram of 2015

This was my most liked instagram of 2015. And I think that’s pretty great. Charleston coming together as one. A wonderful reminder just 2 days before Christmas.

Life Lately

I started off December in what I strongly feared a dumb way – trying out my first chemical peel (from my dermatologist). Not that I regretted trying, just that I regretted trying it in the middle of the busiest month of the year My face looked a little lot scary for close to 72 hours. But I’m happy to report it was a success – I got the peel on a Monday and by that Friday am I was back to normal!

Josh and I hosted our very first big Christmas party this past weekend and it was so much fun! We had a huge turn out and danced all night. I got my friends from Ooh Events and Polished to help with the bar set up (turned out beautiful), hired Peprolls to bring their food cart tent for late night fuel, and played all my favorites on Pandora.

Somewhere between the beginning and the end of the party the police showed up twice and two of my friends jumped on our holiday dressed swan float in the pool (and they may not like that I’m posting this picture but they shouldn’t have sent it to me).

I wore the red Kate Spade flare dress on the right and felt festive playing hostess. The next night I wore the black Kate Spade feather tunic to another Christmas party! And of course the ornament clutch.
